Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If language were liquid, it would be rushing in
Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent
Than any word could ever be
[Verse 2]
These words are too solid
They don't move fast enough
To catch the blur in the brain that flies by
And is gone
[Verse 3]
And is gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
And is gone
[Verse 4]
I'd like to meet you
In a timeless, placeless place
Somewhere out of context
And beyond all consequences
[Verse 5]
Let's go back to the building on Little West Twelfth
(Words are too solid, they don't move fast enough)
It is not far away and the river is there
And the sun and the spaces are all laying low
(To catch the blur in the brain that flies by)
And we'll sit in the silence that comes rushing in
And is gone
[Verse 6]
And is gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
And is gone
[Verse 7]
I won't use words again
They don't mean what I meant
They don't say what I said
Just the crust of the meaning
With realms underneath
Never touched
Never stirred
Never even moved through
If language were liquid, it would be rushing in
Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent
Than any word could ever be
[Verse 8]
And is gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
And is gone
And is gone
And is gone
And is gone
And is gone
Gone
